Nicene Creed

The Nicene Creed was a statement of belief adopted by the main Christian Church at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, affirming their commitment to the idea of belief one one, all-powerful God and in the resurrection of Jesus. Most Christian denominations adhere to the creed, with the notable exception of the LDS Church. The addition by the Latin Christians of the words "and the son" (filioque) to the creed in 1014 led to the Greek Christians arguing that this addition was a violation of the rule that the creed was no to be changed, eventually leading to the Great Schism of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches.
